Boyne I Feel you. I wish I did something decades ago. After 20 years of trying and failing at being a manager of people, ( consistently lasting about 2 years at a job before getting 'mutually separated', neither of us really understanding why I struggled at the role) I have reached a point where I either fix this thing..... or bag groceries for a living.

3 months into treatment and doc has me on both Adderall and some medication for Bipolar, along with Ativan to knock out the anxiety. I haven't figured out which combination works best for me yet, but they absolutely help. Also freaking kill me when I stop taking them, like on a weekend.

I don't know if I"m Bipolar or have mood swings that are corrected by the med yet. The meds help with the symptoms, but the real problem is the 'wall' that comes down in my brain when I use it alot. None of the meds help that.
